Comnet SFP-16 Gigabit Sfp Transceiver 550m 850nm Lc

Product Description

The COMNET SFP-16 is a Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver module designed for high-speed network and surveillance infrastructure applications. Operating at an 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber, the SFP-16 supports data transmission up to 550 meters with an LC connector interface. The module fits into standard SFP slots on managed switches, media converters, and network video recorders. Network technicians and systems integrators install this transceiver to extend Gigabit Ethernet links over fiber where copper runs are impractical or exceed distance limits.

The SFP-16 is suited for enterprise LAN backbone runs, IP video surveillance backbones, and industrial network segments where short-to-mid-range multimode fiber is already deployed. It is a hot-swappable module, making it practical for live network environments where minimizing downtime during fiber link commissioning or replacement is a priority. The 850nm multimode specification aligns with OM2, OM3, and OM4 multimode fiber plant installations commonly found in commercial buildings and campuses.

Key Features

• 850nm wavelength over multimode fiber for short-range Gigabit transmission
• 550-meter reach suitable for intra-building and campus backbone runs
• LC connector interface for standard duplex multimode fiber patch cables
• Hot-swappable SFP form factor fits standard SFP-compliant switch and converter slots
• Gigabit data rate supports high-bandwidth applications including IP video and enterprise LAN

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard SFP-compliant Gigabit Ethernet slots on managed switches, media converters, and compatible COMNET network equipment. Verify host device SFP compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified network technicians or low-voltage systems integrators. Power down or hot-swap according to the host device manufacturer guidelines before seating or removing the module. Clean LC fiber connectors with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to prevent insertion loss. Handle the SFP module by its body and use the release latch to remove it — do not pull on fiber patch cables to extract the module.
